Predictive-coding has justifiably become a highly influential theory in Neuroscience.
However, the possibility of its unfalsifiability has been raised. We argue that if predictive …

Neural activity in the lateral intraparietal cortex (LIP) correlates with both sensory evaluation
and motor planning underlying visuomotor decisions. We previously showed that LIP plays a …

Perceptual difficulty is sometimes used to manipulate selective attention. However, these
two factors are logically distinct. Selective attention is defined by priority given to specific …

Visual attention is often inadvertently captured by salient stimuli. It was suggested that it is
possible to prevent attentional capture in some search tasks by suppressing salient stimuli …

Top-down visual attention filters undesired stimuli while selected information is afforded the
lion's share of limited cognitive resources. Multiple selection mechanisms can be deployed …

Experience or training can substantially improve perceptual performance through perceptual
learning, and the extent and rate of these improvements may be affected by feedback. In this …

The cueing task is one of the most prominent paradigms to study covert attention. Observers
are quicker and more accurate in detecting a target when it appears with a cue (valid trials) …

Participants used a position control system to track the center of a simulated winding
roadway with preview that ranged from 0.3 to 1.0 s. Participants' spatial distributions of …

The external noise paradigm and perceptual template model (PTM) have successfully been
applied to characterize observer properties and mechanisms of observer state changes (eg …

It has been demonstrated that contrast sensitivity is sensitive to stimulus exposure duration.
Here, we investigated how the duration effect on contrast sensitivity was modulated by the …
